Said 49ers G.M. Trent Baalke, “The interesting thing about any sport is you can look better on paper but not perform as well as a team. How we do in 2014 is going to be dependent on how quickly we can become a team. Individuals don’t win games. Teams win games. That’s all we’re trying to do is get a little bit better every day as a team.”

Kyle Long is a stud for my Bears, but the recent bad luck and drug scrutiny on former Ducks like Kiko Alonso and Dion Jordan has me a little nervous going into his 2nd season. I hope he’s being careful and keeping himself clean.
